An early birthday present from my sister. A compass necklace, inscribed on the back with a quote from Whitman (her middle name, as well as my son’s): “Now voyager, sail thou forth to seek and find.”
I love this necklace for so many reasons. Because she and I went to the four corners of the earth together before we turned 10. Because I’ve often mused about the meaning of compasses in parenting. Because I have asserted that from now on I am going to navigate by the stars (in which effort I believe a compass is essential).
Thank you, thank you, thank you, dear HWM. I love you. xox
Oh, what a gorgeous gift. So perfect. xo
That is an amazing gift. Amazing. You are so fortunate to have someone who understands you so well.

“The Untold Want!” Exceptional! Whitman is a muse in more ways than one to me.
It is so beautiful, as is the quote, as are you. And, apparently, so is your sister.
So go forth, my friend, go forth and find what it is you are looking for.
So grateful you take us along on the journey.
Love.

Everything about this is perfect and amazing.
Exquisite. What a gift to have a sister and a son to help you navigate.
I’ve always thought that the ability to give a perfect gift is a sign of a wise and thoughtful person. How lucky you (and I!) are to have such a wise and thoughtful person in your life.

Gorgeous! I am jealous — of both the necklace and your amazing realationship with your sister.
So fitting. So beautiful. I want one. xoxo
What a lovely gift and reminder of your many memories.
What a wonderful gift from a clearly wonderful sister!
Love this! Wherever do you *find* a necklace such as this? A treasure.
What an incredible gift. Ah, Sisters…
I hadn’t really thought of this — a compass; necessary to navigate the unknown. Of course. It’s beautiful!
